Settling Velocity given Height to Length Ratio Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Settling Velocity = (Discharge/(Width*Depth))*(Ratio of height to length)
v_s = (Q/(w*D))*(HL)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Settling velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Width - (Measured in Meter) - Width is the measurement or extent of something from side to side.
Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Depth is the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something.
Ratio of height to length - Ratio of height to length is the defined as the ratio of height of sedimentation tank to length of sedimentation tank.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Width: 2.29 Meter --> 2.29 Meter No Conversion Required
Depth: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Ratio of height to length: 1.6 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v_s = (Q/(w*D))*(HL) --> (1.01/(2.29*3))*(1.6)

Evaluating ... ...

v_s = 0.235225618631732

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.235225618631732 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.235225618631732 ≈ 0.235226 Meter per Second <-- Settling Velocity

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
